The 291-page report lays out intimately what have at instances been murky allegations in opposition to the president.

Biden has dismissed questions on his involvement in a scheme being highlighted within the Republicans’ report. The administration has but to launch a proper response in response to the report.
A key query within the investigation has been, even when Hunter Biden and others monetized the “Biden model,” how a lot did the president actually know or take part?
“Witnesses acknowledged that Hunter Biden concerned Vice President Biden in a lot of his enterprise dealings with Russian, Romanian, Chinese language, Kazakhstani, and Ukrainian people and corporations,” the report stated. “Then-Vice President Biden met or spoke with practically each one of many Biden household’s international enterprise associates, together with these from Ukraine, China, Russia, and Kazakhstan.

From the report:
At first, overwhelming proof demonstrates that President Biden participated in a conspiracy to monetize his workplace of public belief to complement his household. Amongst different facets of this conspiracy, the Biden household and their enterprise associates acquired tens of thousands and thousands of {dollars} from international pursuits by main these pursuits to consider that such funds would supply them entry to and affect with President Biden.

For instance, in 2014, Vice President Biden attended a dinner for Hunter Biden with Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina.4 Following the dinner, Baturina wired $3.5 million to Rosemont Seneca Thornton, a agency related to Hunter Biden. Then, months later, as Hunter Biden and his enterprise associates continued to solicit more cash from Baturina, Vice President Biden participated in a telephone name with Baturina and Hunter Biden the place Vice President Biden advised Baturina, “you be good to my boy.” Furthermore, President Biden knowingly participated on this conspiracy.
